Fantastic stay We come every year Perfect
David, 8-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent hotel, helpful & friendly staff. Food very good - great breakfast and good variety of evening restaurants. Walking distance to Elounda town for local restaurants and bars, and boat trips. We would definitely recommend and go back in the future. Maybe not ideal for those with limited mobility as large and spacious hotel on a number of levels with limited lift access.
Julia, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Gorgeous well maintained hotel with top notch service. The room was very comfortable. The breakfast buffet has anything you could possibly want and the dinner restaurant choices on the resort are all lovely. The perfect relaxation spot. The spa is great too! I had the best pedicure ever there. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Great beach, great food, outdated hotel but OK

outdated hotel but the beach makes it all worth it. and the food buffet is great! we love the fact there were so many choices! the drink overpriced but overall, great.
Evette, 3-night trip

Wonderful sraff who made me feels so at home.
Fungai, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice hotel and beach area. Very clean and spacious inside. Breakfast was nice but didn't enjoy the evening buffet which comes with the booking if you want it or not. Drinks and restaurant food in the hotel very expensive. However there are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby if you don't like an evening buffet or expensive drinks or meals.
Philip Ian, 14-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It’s a very pretty hotel. It is run professionally. It is in a great location with a very picturesque private beach. Drinks and food is pricey for Greece. The personnel were very friendly. Rooms are getting a bit old but everything was clean and in working order. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone considering to stay in this part of Crete.
Kostas, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

The staff was very friendly and professional. The area around was beautiful. We had a pool which we shared with only one unit and an amazing view! Unfortunately, the room was quite outdated, and some things didn’t work the best. When we requested anything, it took a very unusual long time to get it or we would need to ask again after an hour or two. The food was great! We thoroughly enjoyed the buffet breakfast and dinner.
Chaya, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Amazing location with private sandy beach and water sports. There were no upgrades the evening we arrived but We received a wonderful upgrade the next day. We opted for half-board (breakfast and dinner) inclusive option since we were traveling with the kids, and were very happy with both. One surprise was that we had to pay for water and tea at dinner after piling up lamb and steaks, felt a little cheap 😂. Overall a wonderful experience
David, 4-night trip

Enestående service

Fantastisk hotel med helt enestående service. Absolut topniveau. Ingen Hotels opgradering selvom det specifikt stod i reservationen og der var plads på hotellet. Dejlige pools inde og ude samt skøn sandstrand.
